Definitions
- This invention is in the field of the prevention and treatment of dementia. More specifically, this invention relates to the use of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors or derivatives thereof in preventing and treating Alzheimer's Disease.
- NSAID's common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- corticosteroids An alternative to NSAID's is the use of corticosteroids, which also produce adverse effects, especially when long term therapy is involved.
- NSAIDs have been found to prevent the production of prostaglandins by inhibiting enzymes in the human arachidonic acid/prostaglandin pathway, including the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX).
- COX cyclooxygenase-2
- prostaglandin G/H synthase II an inducible enzyme associated with inflammation
- Dementia characterized by memory loss, confusion, and disorientation is suffered by fifteen percent of the American elderly population. Of that number, about sixty percent suffer from the progressive mental deterioration known as Alzheimer's disease.
- Alzheimer's disease causes the death of brain cells, often begins in the portion of the brain responsible for memory control. The onset is normally gradual, often symptomized by the loss of short term memory. In the late stages of the disease the patient becomes dissoriented and ultimately becomes unable to care for themselves.
- [Pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamides have been described in WO95/15316 as inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 and have shown promise in the treatment of inflammation, arthritis, and pain, with minimal side effects in pre-clinical and clinical trials.
- their use for treating central nervous system disorders, including dementia or specifically for treating or preventing other Alzheimer's disease has not been previously described.
- the present invention is directed to the use of inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 for the treatment and prevention of dementia.
- the present invention provides a method for treating or preventing dementia in a subject in need of such treatment or prevention, the method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor or derivative thereof.
- treatment includes partial or total inhibition of the dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, multi-infarct dementia, pre-senile dementia, alcoholic dementia, and senile dementia.
- prevention includes either preventing the onset of clinically evident dementia altogether or preventing the onset of a preclinically evident stage of dementia in individuals at risk. Also intended to be encompassed by this definition is the prevention of initiation brain cell death or to arrest or reverse the progression of Alzheimer's disease symptoms. This includes prophylactic treatment of those at risk of developing dementia.
- the phrase “therapeutically-effective” is intended to qualify the amount of each agent which will achieve the goal of improvement in disease severity and the frequency of incidence over treatment of each agent by itself, while avoiding adverse side effects typically associated with alternative therapies.
- the term “subject” for purposes of treatment includes any human or animal subject who has any one of the known dementia, and preferably is a human subject.
- the subject is any human or animal subject, and preferably is a human subject who is at risk for dementia.
- the subject may be at risk due to exposure to head injury, being exposed to other environmental factors associated with Alzheimer's disease and being genetically predisposed to have the dementia.
- dementia includes Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, multi-infarct dementia, pre-senile dementia, alcoholic dementia, and senile dementia.
- Inhibitors of the cyclooxygenase pathway in the metabolism of arachidonic acid used in the prevention and treatment of dementia may inhibit enzyme activity through a variety of mechanisms.
- the inhibitors used in the methods described herein may block the enzyme activity directly by acting as a substrate for the enzyme.
- the use of cyclooxygenasse-2 selective inhibitors is highly advantageous in that they minimize the gastric side effects that can occur with non-selective NSAID's, especially where prolonged prophylactic treatment is expected.
- cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor denotes a compound able to inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 without significant inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1.
- it includes compounds which have a cyclooxygenase-2 IC 50 of less than about 0.2 ⁇ M, and also have a selectivity ratio of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition over cyclooxygenase-1 inhibition of at least 50, and more preferably of at least 100.
- the compounds have a cyclooxygenase-1 IC 50 of greater than about 1 ⁇ M, and more preferably of greater than 10 ⁇ M.
- the method provided herein relates to the use of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors or derivatives thereof in the prevention and treatment of dementia.
- the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor is selected from compounds of Formula I
- R 2 is selected from hydrido, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkoxycarbonyl, cyano, cyanoalkyl, carboxyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, cycloalkylaminocarbonyl, arylaminocarbonyl, carboxyalkylaminocarbonyl, carboxyalkyl, aralkoxycarbonylalkylaminocarbonyl, aminocarbonylalkyl, alkoxycarbonylcyanoalkenyl and hydroxyalkyl;
- R 3 is selected from hydrido, alkyl, cyano, hydroxyalkyl, cycloalkyl, alkylsulfonyl and halo;

Abstract
This invention relates to the use of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors or derivatives thereof in preventing and treating dementia. In particular, the invention describes the method of preventing and treating dementia in a subject, said method comprising treating the subject with a therapeutically-effective amount of a compound of Formula I
wherein R2, R3, and R4 are as described in the specification.
Description
- This invention is in the field of the prevention and treatment of dementia. More specifically, this invention relates to the use of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors or derivatives thereof in preventing and treating Alzheimer's Disease.
- Prostaglandins play a major role in the inflammation process and the inhibition of prostaglandin production, especially production of PGG2, PGH2 and PGE2, has been a common target of anti-inflammatory drug discovery. However, common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) that are active in reducing the prostaglandin-induced pain and swelling associated with the inflammation process are also active in affecting other prostaglandin-regulated processes not associated with the inflammation process. Thus, use of high doses of most common NSAID's can produce severe side effects, including life threatening ulcers, that limit their-therapeutic potential. An alternative to NSAID's is the use of corticosteroids, which also produce adverse effects, especially when long term therapy is involved.
- NSAIDs have been found to prevent the production of prostaglandins by inhibiting enzymes in the human arachidonic acid/prostaglandin pathway, including the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). The recent discovery of an inducible enzyme associated with inflammation (named “cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)” or “prostaglandin G/H synthase II”) provides a viable target of inhibition which more effectively reduces inflammation and produces fewer and less drastic side effects.
- Dementia, characterized by memory loss, confusion, and disorientation is suffered by fifteen percent of the American elderly population. Of that number, about sixty percent suffer from the progressive mental deterioration known as Alzheimer's disease.
- Alzheimer's disease causes the death of brain cells, often begins in the portion of the brain responsible for memory control. The onset is normally gradual, often symptomized by the loss of short term memory. In the late stages of the disease the patient becomes dissoriented and ultimately becomes unable to care for themselves.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,192,753 (McGeer et al.) describes the use of the NSAID indomethacin for treatment of dementia. WO patent publication WO94/13635 (published Jun. 23, 1994) describes the use of specific COX-2 compounds for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
- [Pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamides have been described in WO95/15316 as inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 and have shown promise in the treatment of inflammation, arthritis, and pain, with minimal side effects in pre-clinical and clinical trials. However, their use for treating central nervous system disorders, including dementia or specifically for treating or preventing other Alzheimer's disease has not been previously described.
- The present invention is directed to the use of inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 for the treatment and prevention of dementia.
- The present invention provides a method for treating or preventing dementia in a subject in need of such treatment or prevention, the method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor or derivative thereof.
- The term “treatment” includes partial or total inhibition of the dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, multi-infarct dementia, pre-senile dementia, alcoholic dementia, and senile dementia.
- The term “prevention” includes either preventing the onset of clinically evident dementia altogether or preventing the onset of a preclinically evident stage of dementia in individuals at risk. Also intended to be encompassed by this definition is the prevention of initiation brain cell death or to arrest or reverse the progression of Alzheimer's disease symptoms. This includes prophylactic treatment of those at risk of developing dementia.
- The phrase “therapeutically-effective” is intended to qualify the amount of each agent which will achieve the goal of improvement in disease severity and the frequency of incidence over treatment of each agent by itself, while avoiding adverse side effects typically associated with alternative therapies.
- The term “subject” for purposes of treatment includes any human or animal subject who has any one of the known dementia, and preferably is a human subject. For methods of prevention, the subject is any human or animal subject, and preferably is a human subject who is at risk for dementia. The subject may be at risk due to exposure to head injury, being exposed to other environmental factors associated with Alzheimer's disease and being genetically predisposed to have the dementia.
- In the method above, dementia includes Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, multi-infarct dementia, pre-senile dementia, alcoholic dementia, and senile dementia.
- Inhibitors of the cyclooxygenase pathway in the metabolism of arachidonic acid used in the prevention and treatment of dementia may inhibit enzyme activity through a variety of mechanisms. By the way of example, the inhibitors used in the methods described herein may block the enzyme activity directly by acting as a substrate for the enzyme. The use of cyclooxygenasse-2 selective inhibitors is highly advantageous in that they minimize the gastric side effects that can occur with non-selective NSAID's, especially where prolonged prophylactic treatment is expected.
- The term “cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor” denotes a compound able to inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 without significant inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1. Preferably, it includes compounds which have a cyclooxygenase-2 IC50 of less than about 0.2 μM, and also have a selectivity ratio of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition over cyclooxygenase-1 inhibition of at least 50, and more preferably of at least 100. Even more preferably, the compounds have a cyclooxygenase-1 IC50 of greater than about 1 μM, and more preferably of greater than 10 μM.
